In a CNN interview, Bialik talked about attachment parenting as she understands it -- and explained why she is frustrated by TIME's "sensationalized" portrayal of fellow attachment parenting devotees.

"Just to clarify: attachment parenting takes no stance on how long you should breastfeed. The notion is to educate people about breastfeeding," she told CNN's Suzanne Malveaux.

"I breastfeed my 3-year-old because he's not done breastfeeding, and I'm not ready to tell him not to. ... [I]t is still a tremendous source of discipline, and of bonding, that occurs between a mother and a child."
